About Crossroads Music Festivals' annual benefits :
The "Rock the House" benefit is an annual event, usually taking place around the middle of May, in Roanoke/Salem, Virginia. Starting in 2006, it's 9th year, the benefit takes place at the Salem Avalanche ballpark, with an opening concert and a baseball game. One dollar per ticket goes to the House (the stadium holds 6,000). A benefit like this is a community effort, supported by many local sponsors like Ridenhour Music, WROV FM 96.3, Pepsi Cola,Earl Wood Printing,Catawba Sound Studio, and the Salem Avalanche. Oh, yeah- the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame,in Cleveland,is an annual sponsor,
. And- since 2002,the GRAMMY AWARDS people are sponsors,too ! South West Airlines donates a pair of
go-anywhere tickets as the Door Prize, during the Seventh Inning Stretch!
There is no budget to compensate musicians for performing- HOWEVER- a number of "club sponsors" will hire a band for a paid gig, if they agree to play a free set at one of the benefits. For out-of-town bands, there is a free service to help arrange a "tour" in the area by providing contact information to the club sponsors.
Musicians are encouraged to e-mail
Crossroads Music Festivals, and register band names, contact numbers,e-mails, etc.
